Walter Gieseking - Sonatine for Flute and Piano, edited by Ervin Monroe. Walter Gieseking’s Sonatine for Flute and Piano, is a lyrical and elegant work in three movements (Moderato, Allegretto, and Vivace) that reflects the composer’s deep affinity for French musical style, with colorful harmonies, graceful melodies, and rhythmic sophistication. Combining intimate lyricism with playful charm and a brilliant, energetic finale, the Sonatine remains one of Gieseking’s most successful and enduring compositions.
